The Section 179 tax credit is a great opportunity for manufacturers to save big on new equipment investments through strategic tax deductions. And we’re here to help you understand and fully leverage your tax credit for 2023. This comprehensive article will explore who and what Section 179 applies to, qualifying machine-specific purchases that will help increase your throughput and reduce your tax liability.
What is Section 179?
Section 179 is an IRS tax code designed to empower businesses by allowing them to deduct 80% of the purchase price of new qualifying equipment during the tax year of acquisition. This incentive isn’t limited to specific industries; it’s a versatile tool for businesses of all types and sizes. Section 179 provides a significant opportunity to boost capacity and revenue while simultaneously reducing the tax burden.
Eligible Purchases for 2023
The types of assets eligible for this tax credit change from year to year. In 2023, businesses have a wide array of eligible assets that qualify for Section 179 deductions.
Machinery and Tooling: Businesses can deduct 80% of the purchase price of equipment used for manufacturing, production, and other operational processes under Section 179. Machining-specific purchases that qualify for Section 179 deductions encompass a diverse range of machinery, including EDM machines, 3D printing technology, and milling equipment. To maximize the advantages of this tax incentive, new machine tools must be operational by the end of the tax year.
Vehicles: Vehicles, such as work trucks and specialized company vehicles, are also eligible for Section 179 deductions in 2023. This is particularly valuable for companies that rely on a fleet of vehicles to conduct their operations.
